Summary
What does this car say about you?
Boring. it aint nothing special but its the cheapest car for economy I drive an hour to work and at 55mpg couldnt beat it.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Boring, quite comfortable though foot space in the back was a bit tight depending on whose in the front. But all are jealous on how much I pay for fuel for the miles I drive.
Would you buy this car again and why?
No. service is too expencive and certain replacments you can only get at Vauxhall and they abuse that somewhat with heavy prices, such as the Altinator. SCANDALOUS luckily it hasnt broke yet but its looming
What are you likely to buy next?
Prius, but still thinking about it. ??
